Daddy’s really sorry
He never got the chance to say hello
And daddy’s so very sorry
He never got the chance to say goodbye
But there are some things
I need to let you know
Before I let you go off
To your home with God in the sky

Even though I never knew you
I want you to know
That I am so proud
And I love you so
The best son any man
Could ever ask God for
Fulfilled all my dreams
And so much more


Cuz I’m sure you were the greatest
At all that you did
And you were that special one
That magical kid
Who brought joy and happiness
To everyone you’d meet
With just your sweet smile
As you walked down the street

And I remember playing ball
With you in the park
And rushing to get home
After it’s dark
Swimming in the pool
Having so much fun
And eating lots of ice cream
And racing back home
When we we’re done

And though these little things
Never really happened it’s true
They happened for me In my heart
And  I hope they did for you too
We can share these memories
Till the time ends
And we meet in heaven
And can share them again

You were the love of my life
The joy in my heart
I went to every practice and game
Just loving playing a part
And I was so proud
When you did the play at school
And when you took up music
I completely lost my cool


Ah the memories are fading now
Just like you gone way too soon
But I will cherish them forever
And think of them when I think of you

And though these little things
Never really happened it’s true
They happened for me In my heart
And I hope they for you too
We can share these memories
Till the time ends
And we meet in heaven
And can share them again

Daddy’s really sorry
He never got the chance to say hello
And daddy’s so very sorry
He never got the chance to say goodbye
But there are some things
I wanna make sure that you know
Before I let you go off
To your home with God in the sky
